Effect of using concept caricature in science and technology teaching to academic success of 7th graders
Get PDFBu çalışmada, Fen ve Teknoloji dersi "İnsan ve Çevre" ünitesinde kavram karikatürü tekniği kullanımının, ilköğretim 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin akademik başarıları üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırma ön test, son test ve hatırlama testi olmak üzere üç aşamada gerçekleştirilen başarı testleri ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın deney grubuna Fen ve Teknoloji dersi öğretim programına uygun olarak hazırlanan kavram karikatürü; kontrol grubuna ise geleneksel öğretim yöntemi ile konu anlatılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Şırnak il merkezinde öğrenim gören ortaokul öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise Şırnak Toki Ortaokulu'nda 7. sınıf düzeyinde öğrenim gören 98 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Toki Ortaokulu 7. Sınıf düzeyinde yer alan dört sınıf, rastgele yöntemle iki kontrol grubu ve iki deney grubu olarak ayrılmıştır. 'İnsan ve Çevre' ünitesi deney grubundaki öğrencilere Fen ve Teknoloji öğretim programına uygun olarak hazırlanan kavram karikatürleri yöntemi; kontrol grubuna ise geleneksel yöntem ile 2 hafta süresince ders anlatılmıştır. Öğrencilerin başarı düzeylerinin belirlenmesinde veri toplama aracı olarak, güvenirlik katsayısı 0.818 olan ve 25 sorudan oluşan "İnsan ve Çevre Başarı Testi" kullanılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 10.00 istatistik paket programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. .Deney ve kontrol gruplarının ön test, son test ve hatırlama testlerinden aldıkları puanların, gruplar arası ve her bir grubun kendi içinde farklılaşma düzeylerini incelemek amacıyla dokuz hipotez geliştirilmiş ve bu hipotezler istatistiksel yöntemlerle test edilmiştir. Hipotezlerin test edilmesi aşamasında bağımsız örneklem t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda kavram karikatürü tekniği uygulanan deney grubu ile geleneksel yöntem uygulanan kontrol grubu arasında son test ve hatırlama testi sonuçları bakımından anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Kavram karikatürü tekniğinin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını arttırmada ve öğrenilenlerin kalıcılığını sağlamada beklenilen ölçüde etkili olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.In this study, the effect of the concept cartoon technique used in "Human and Enviorenment" Unit of Science and Technology course on the academic achievement of 7th grade primary school students has been investigated. The research was conducted with three successive tests, which are pre-test, post-test and recall test. Science and Technology course is taught by using the concept caricature prepared according to the curriculum of Science and Technology course for the experiment group of the research while the subject is taught by traditional teaching method in the control group. The population of the research is composed of middle school students who are studying in Sirnak province center. The sample of the research consists of 98 students who are studying at 7th grade level in Sirnak Toki Middle School. The four classes in the 7th grade of Toki Middle School were divided into two control groups and two experimental groups by random method. The unit of "Human and Environment" is taught by using the concept caricature prepared according to the curriculum of Science and Technology course for the experiment groups and the traditional teaching method is used to teach the same unit for control groups both for two weeks. "Human and Environmental Achievement Test", which has a reliability coefficient of 0.818 and consists of 25 questions, was used as the data collection tool in determining the success levels of the students. The data were analyzed by SPSS 19.00 statistical package program. Nine hypotheses were developed to examine the scores of the pre-, post-test and recall tests of the experimental and control groups, between the groups and within each group, and these hypotheses were tested by statistical methods. Independent sample t-test was used to test hypotheses. As a result of the research, no significant difference was observed between the experimental group in which the concept caricature technique was used and the control group in which the traditional method was used in terms of the results of the final test and the recall test. It has been achieved that the concept caricature technique is not effective not to the degree that is expected on increasing the academic achievement of the students and endurance of the learners
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
